Help Bring The Ground Breaking Blood Queen Series To Life

A visually-arresting 3-part graphic novel series starring a new superheroine inspired by Hindu mythology has 2 weeks left to meet its funding goal on Indiegogo

Blood Queen Volume 1 is a supernatural crime thriller graphic novel that suspensefully chronicles the origin of its superheroine, divinely inspired by Hindu mythology. The main character is introduced as Religious Iconography PhD student, Riya Maalik, but is she the Blood Queen? Only until Volume 1’s release will readers find out.

Creator/Writer Alpa Banker has teamed up with Illustrator Laura Ferguson to deliver what she describes as a “unique, visual experience” inspired by Frank Miller’s 300. She describes the story as similar to Dark Knight in tone and Thor in its borrowing from religious mythology. Her protagonist is inspired by such “badass” female heroes as Mulan, Salt, and Xena Warrior Princess in their presentation as three-dimensional, strong, and combat-savvy yet feminine women whose fan base includes both genders.

Banker offers this suspenseful teaser which she wrote, scored, and directed to excite fans and build anticipation:

Halloween Night, October 31st 2014, is the deadline for funding Volume 1 on Indiegogo. Contributions can be made at: igg.me/at/BloodQueenSeries. Perks include a free copy of the Volume 1 e-book and even a chance to have one’s face recorded in the pages.

At an early age I knew I loved two things more than anything else Comic Books and Video Games and no matter how hard my parents tried they couldn't keep me away from the capes and pixels. Now that I have a wife and child of my own I can't wait to share these vast worlds and experiences with them and hopefully you!
With GWW I created and become editor of the comics section, which has now become the websites most popular area and features daily post with unique Comic editorials, reviews and previews. Along with Will Elizondo we started the GWW Capes Crew podcast. A weekly show dedicated to to all things Comics, Superheros and Sequential Art.
After a year of creating content for GWW I was made its Editor in Chief. I love everything I do and can't think of a better way to spend my time than to spread every form of geekery to every corner of the globe. Comics will all be my passion though and were my heart lies.
